Repeated Efforts of That Party to Make ths System Obnoxiour ANIMUS OF ATTACKS ON GENERAL RAUM. List of Misrepresentations Civculated by Desperate Bourbons--Vicious Methods Used to Make a Political Point, 513 FOURTERNTIL STR! Wasmixeroy, D, C., June 7. 1t is hard to imagine, in the light of devel- Wasmyaroy Bureav Ta e, } | opments during the past fow days, what lio the democrats will next civeulate in order to make a sensational issuc. The war which has peen made upon Pension Commissioner Raum has been shown o be for the purposo of making converts to the anti-pension issue which is being pushed by democrats and mugwumps everywhere with the ultin purpose of not only breaking the force of Mr, Cleveland’s anti-pension policy, but of estab- lishing asystem of divect taxation with which to mect pension payments. The democrats have been introducing bills in congress look- ing toward this end for many years, and dur- ing tho last congress a number of nieasures were by them offered directly proposing that pensions shall hereafter bo paid by direct taxation. They Dbelieve that if pro- perty owners have to meet 2100, 000,000 or more every year bv direct taxes they will rise up and demand the ro- peal of the pension laws. The present man- ner of meeting pensions is too easy and light. They must 1f possible be made to fall heavily upon the taxpayers. This thing of an in- revenue upon luxuries and customs duties upon the finer articles in life's uso, levied so as to protect American industries and operate against the interests of Great Britain, is in direct opposition to democratic principles. It must be destroyed. With this object in view a general war was levied upon the office of commissioner of pensions. It was first begun when a legless veteran occu- pied the placo, Corporal Tanner, and he was driven out. Then it was renewed as soon as another bravo and honest veteran was ap- pointed, General Raum. 1f be should retire it would be continued against his successor. It would make no difference who the man was, the war against the ofice would con- tinue. Along with the war on the pension office was cireulaced all sorts of lies about Pres dent Harrison's attitude towara silver. He was represented as being a nonometalist, then a free coinawe advocate, for the pur- pose of driving the west and east also from him, Mr. Cleveland’s friends bave been chagrinued to find President Harrison is neither a free coinage nor a swgle-standard advocato, He favors the fullest possible use of silver to the point whére the financial credit of the country is jeopardized. He oc- cupies the precise position of a sound and couservative financier. Again the report was widely circulated for democratic purposes that the census wus being taken in the interest of the republican party. The reapportionment of congress was. 10 bé based upon the partisan work of the ceusus bureau. An_investigation showed that it was a physical impossibility to inter- polate anything into the work of the census which would benetit the party without mak- ing the fact apparent on its face, and the party ridiculous. The reports about the condition of the treasury, to the effect that the surplus was exhausted and the payments on account of appropriations and ordinary expenses of tho government could not be met, were vicious, malicious, and in almost any other country would have been noted as_seditious, for they were strokes at tho very highest intercsts of the peoplo. It was a desperate effort to ruin the government's credit, in order to make volitical point. Had the same effort been di- rected towards an mdividual or a corpora- tion he or it would have perished. Even the Rothschilds could not have survived. But the credit of the federal government stands. Fortunately it usked no credit abroad, and the moneyed wterest at home could not be msled. The ties circulated about the negotiations respecting the Behring sea dispute were almost countless, They were intended to put our government in disrepute abroad, in order thav a point could be made politically for the moment. It is only necessary to note one of the scurrilous reports. It was charged that the negotiations were being delayed in the interest of crtain republican stockholders in the Alaska Seal Fur company. Inquiry by the most prejudiced individuals fuiled to re- veal even a scintiila of suspicion for the charge. 1t was a bald-headed lie. Efforts, time and again, bave been made to prejudice the Catholic ‘church against the present administration by the circulation of reports that Indian school contracts were belug let in opposition to Catholic institu- tions, when investigation revealed the fact that not only were all the coutracts mado under President Clevelind renewed where- ever they were wanted and old contrac maintamed, but more new ones than ever hefore made in the interest of the Catholic institutlons. In aword, there has not been a siv charge made by the democrats in the direc- tion of incompetency, corruption or dereli- tion which has stood against this administra- tion. ~ Iurthermore, the seusational reports which are being put afloat from time to time and which have been sprung ever since tho fivst attack against the pension ofce have all been shown to bo not_ouly so ridiculous but vicious that the public will read with greater caution hereafter any statement directed agninst the present management of federal affairs, TOW IT WORKS, Before suow flies again there will be issuod in book form publication that will interest s muny readers as single publication could casily interest, It will descrion the ma- chinery of congress. Itis the first effort that wus ever made to describe in simple terms the operations of the national legislature, and at the same time digest its parliumentary rules and tell what a complicated aud magui- ticent cupitol building the American citizen enjoys. All legislative bodies are very strongly aliko. The orgunization and work of tho town council is very similar to tha state le islature, and the latter is organized and works upon exactly the same principles as the congress of the federal government. The legislative bodies in_this country differ only in magmtude. The state legisiature is larger and its machinery more xtensive and greater attention s iven to the multifurious operations than a town councll, because it has so many more constituencics, Tue same is true in respect to the congress in comparison to the legis lature of o state, The study of the workings of congress is not on interesting, but 8o i structive as to be necessary to the average reador of the daily newspaper, in order that he or she may comprebend the torms and processes. It requires an_enormous amount of research for one to write such a work as this, be he ever so well acquaiuted with the workings of congress, for there are s0 many technicalities. The book w!ll take a bill fro; the moment it is introduced by a representa tive or seuator, carry it through committecs, on the floors of the iwo bouses, everywhers it ust go, and finally to the president for signature, the department of state and into the revised statutes. There are thou sunds of inte points in ch a work and requi months of havd labor to complete it. Captain lomas H. McKee, superintendent of the house document room, is compliing the work Ho prepared a book on the tariif vills and laws of the two parties which played an im portant patin the last campaign for the presidency.

S WAR ON FHILIP BROOKS, Dr. D:Costa Inspired by a Female Christian Scientist. New Yok, June 7.—Ever sinco Dr. De Costa began his war upon Philip Brooks in his efforts to keep the latter out of the bish- opric of Massachusetts he has founded hi arrmignment of the Boston preacher upon the oments of a correspoudent in Boston. This person, he said, must remain anony mous, but he could assure the public that the person was one of responsibility and one whoso statements could be relica upon. When Dr. DoCosta sent out his circulars to the bishops, which contained an extract from his correspondent’s letter, he wrote in tne nawme of the writer. It has upw leaked out that Dr. DeCosta's correspondent is Miss A. A. Cnevalier, who established herself in this town about two years ago, coming heve from Boston. When the International Maguzine of Christian Science went to pieces under Mr. Plunket's peculiar views of marriage Miss Chevalicr took it up and revived it under the name of the Magaziae of Trath. She was an ardent Christian Scientist and soon after she came hero shie orgauized u sogiety, of which Herbert Newton was made the head. When Dr. Newton took up the cause of the People's Municipal leaguo Miss Chevalio broke with him, and she has had a good deal 10 say against him since, *'I can understand now, said a churchman yesterday, ‘“‘why Dr. DeCosta huas kept. oa the name of his correspoudent. It is because he kuew the name would /mot carry any weight in the church, (I am very much surprised at _jbis making tho assumption, as has all along, that she was an importapt person and that Dr. Brooks would.have to soswer her and explaln his views as shoé | gscribes them," At Miss .Chevalior's oldvofice in Fifth avenue, opposite the Windsor hotel, which she has given up. it was said yesterday that she was in California nolv.” Dr. DeCosta says his correspondent is ih California, too. e MISS GOODALE TO BE MARRIED.

John Burns was arrested on o “‘bus” toduy while trying to persuade the driver to leave. Burns was released, but ho will probably be summoned for trial. Morning saw all the 'bus yards strongly guarded by police and groups of strikers were standing around, humanely covsenting to feca the horses. About twenty vehicles of the road car company and a few ounnibuses started out with the blackleg drivers, but many of these drivers, after experiencing the taunts and jecrs of the strikers, abandoned tho attempt after the first journey, and at 3 o'clock in the afternoon thoroad car company called in all its cars, leaving traflic to oc sional “pirates,” who cheered by the strikc did a good business. Ruilwuys, river boa and cabs reaped the benefit of the striko. The thoroughfares of London were strangely silent today, owing to the abscnco of omnibuses. There was a plentiful supply of cabs, however, and Londoners accepted the discomforts of the situation with good humor, the weather being fine, but on the resumption of business tomorrow moraing thera promises to be some hearty grumbling. John Burns and his_colleagues wera activ the whole of last night organizing pickets. “The strikers gencrully were orderly, ouly two untoward incigents being reported. At Charing Cross, in the presence of 2,000 choor- ing luborers, John Burns stoutly resisted tho attempts of the police to arrcst him on the top of a road car, where he had been try ing to persuade the police to interfere with'a ariver for working without a license. On the police desisting from their efforts Burns followed them quietly to the station.wher he was charged with intimidation.” Some strikers cut the traces of one of the Jbuses at the marble arches and overturned it after in- viting the passe: g 15 to deseond. Three of the strikers concernod were arrosted. ‘The men have abandoned their demand for au werease of wages for the present, The road car com- pany is willing to concede twelve hours, and it 1s probable that a settlement will be ‘ected tomorrow. Disorderly scenes wero witnessed yester- day at many of the omnibus depots, when outgoing 'bises were compelled to roturn home. ‘There were many cases where the traces wore cut and the 'buses were over- turned. The police had some dificulty in keeping order smong the crowds of people of lower classes who gathered overywhere to show their sympathy with the strikers, The strikers allow *pirates” to ply their trade on condition that they pay a crown per *bus duily to the strike fund Italian Oities Shaken.
